Under a recently awarded contract, worth approximately $18 million Tadiran Spectralink Ltd, a member of the Elisra Group, will supply a new satellite communications system to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).

Under this project, named "Seventh Heaven," Tadiran Spectralink and its American partner, Global Communications Inc (GSI) of Hauppauge, New York, will furnish the IDF Signal Corps with equipment and facilities for the global communications backbone for all branches of the IDF Ground Forces.

The system, which consists of an undisclosed number of fixed earth stations, flyaway stations, and mobile stations installed on HMMWV vehicles, will provide for transmission of various types of information (telephony, video, and data) at high rates and different bandwidths.
